AND NINE.
The twenty-six thousand additional copies OF
the report of the civil service commission, which
have just been printed by the government printer.
attract considerable attention and comment by
the conspicuous absence of appendices eight and
nine OF the report, which were omitted by resolu-
ton Of Congress Pages 124 and 125 OF the new
edition are reserved for the omission, the simple
announcement being made in the center OF each
page that the omission is made in accordance with
resolution of Congress. 1t is doubtful il the
printed appendices have attracted as much at
tentlon as the omission. Appendix No. refers to
employe OF the government from securing or pay
Ing political assessments. Appendix No. 9, for
Dids government officials from exercising political
influence. These appendices are from the civil
service act OF New York
